disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on local phase quantization (lpq) method and singular value decomposition (svd) is presented which deals with two main challenges. the first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

Focused open-vessel microwave-assisted extraction (FOV-MAE), closed-vessel microwave-assisted extraction (CV-MAE), and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) were used for extraction before determination of organochlorine compounds (polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT, toxaphene, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorocyclohexanes, and dieldrin) in cod liver and fish fillets. Wet samples were extract...

This chapter focuses on three widely used techniques for extraction of semivolatile organics from liquids: liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Other techniques may be useful in selected circumstances, but these three techniques have become the extraction methods of choice for research and commercial analytical laboratories. A fou...

We present an Information Extraction (IE) system that combines traditional IE techniques and cross-document event ranking. Our final goal is to provide the user with ranked events upon a query. The first step is to set up a trainable event extraction engine to glean all possible events from multiple documents. The second step is to construct our data warehouse with refined events. The third ste...

The main scope of this paper is first of all to verify the efficiency of the flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) method for analysis of some trace elements in extracts of fractionation analysis of the gravitation dust sediments. Investigation was oriented to the analysis of some markedly toxic trace elements in the extracts of gravitation dust sediments as well as on efficiency evaluati...

An 11-year-old male presented with the chief complaint of anterior crowding. He displayed minor lip incompetency and reported an open-mouth posture while sleeping. Excessive overjet (4mm), mild Class II molar and canine relationships, and a slight facial asymmetry were also observed (Fig. 1). The diagnosis was a Class II, division 1 malocclusion with moderate crowding. Considering the patient’s...

This report is a clinical case of a 7-year-old child who presented right impacted second primary mandibular molar. This tooth was positioned inferior to the second premolar successor and a supernumerary tooth superior to the second premolar. Clinical examination did not reveal systemic diseases ot trauma in the facial region. Treatment consisted of the extraction of the impacted second primary ...
